you could trim the inner arch liners back, But by the looks of it the rim would hit your metal arch, so you would need to pull or roll your arch's

With your car already being that low how much wheel travel do you have, it may never hit just be very strecthed the tyres

Trim liners, roll/pull arches, try a bit of camber to see if it makes a difference.

And if all else fails maybe machine wheels down to fit?

Where can you get this done? how much? always thought of it before but wasnt sure if possible or cost effective, machining the wheels i mean

I'm not actually sure Neil as I've never had it done before but I guess if you got a hold of a good CNC guy they might be able to help?
